USS SP-467
In Drydock Number 1 at the Pearl Harbor Navy Yard, Hawaii, circa
1920-1921.
A former "menhaden" fishing vessel built in 1913, this
ship was acquired by the Navy on 5 May 1917 and commissioned
on 22 May 1917 as USS Delaware (SP-467). She lost her
name in 1918, becoming USS SP-467, and during the early
1920s was redesignated AT-53 and YT-111.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
